 BYZANTINE STRUCTURES IN ATHENS 



When the Apostle Paul went up to Athens his spirit was stirred "when he saw the city 

 wholly given to idolatry" ; so he disputed in the synagogue and the market-place daily until 

 the Epicureans and Stoics heard of him and invited him to give an exposition of his 

 doctrines at the Areopagus. After delivering his address there, Dionysius, the Areopagite, 

 and many others believed. From that day forward Christianity has found an abiding place 

 in Athens.
